What have you dreamed about lately?
Just before I woke up this morning I was dreaming about what it would have been like if the movie The Maltese Falcon was really supposed to be The Maltese, Falcon. Mysterious woman, Mary Astor, hires Humphrey Bogart to look for Sydney Greenstreet's lap dog. Odd foreigner, Peter Lorre, appears to hinder the search, making wisecracks, "What's so difficult, Mr. Spade? ... 'Here, Falcon! Here, Falcon!'..." How would film noir have developed differently?
